The Fennec is a state of the art and technology compact wind turbine with low noise, high safety and long use. The heart of the technology is a unique hyperboloidal rotor working at 60 rpm and maximum linear velocity of blades lesser than 26 km/h. It means the lowest noise, vibrations and kinetic threat and enables to use it in the city area and on the rooftops. This is a kinetic sculpture that sources energy from the environment. Sophisticated design driven by mathematical equations, data and the heritage of Vladimir Shukhov - the inventor of lightweight hyperboloid shells.
